PORTLAND, Ore. —

The National Park Foundation is giving away free passes to all fourth-grade students and their families.

The "Every Kid in a Park Pass" gets all fourth-graders into every national park and other federally managed land for free for one year.

Your kiddo can sign up for the program by visiting everykidinapark.gov. The pass is valid for students who are in the fourth grade during the school year beginning in September, and will expire in August of the following year.

The first three people who join the fourth-grade student on their adventure will be granted free entry.
